A leaf detached itself from a branch and floated gently to the ground, twirling and fluttering in the wind.

  Xu Haifeng's gaze followed the already half-yellowed leaves, moving up and down. Until the leaves fell to the ground, his gaze also followed.

  Autumn has finally arrived.

  "My lord, Nan Yi and Murong Yu have arrived."

  Lin Jiahui slowly approached him, first glancing at Xu Haifeng who seemed to be lost in thought, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly.

  He slowly closed his eyes and murmured softly, "The family crest... autumn has arrived."

  Lin Jiahui was taken aback, and he couldn't figure out what connection these two guests had with autumn.

  "Yes, milord."

  "This war is about to end, soon..."

  After finishing this sentence, Xu Haifeng's eyes opened, and his eyes were already a piece of coldness. He said coldly:

  "Ask them to come to the central army tent to talk, and don't be rude."

  It is...

  Lin Jiahui's heart skipped a beat as he met Na Senhan's cold gaze, and he hastily responded with a "yes" before turning to leave.

  Xu Haifeng stood still for a moment, estimating in his heart that they had already arrived at the central military tent.

  He lowered his head and took another look at the fallen leaves that had already been stained with some dust, then turned around and walked towards the central military tent.

  The commander's headquarters is a crucial place in the army, and it can be said that it is where the soul of the entire troops lies.

  Its guards were absolutely the most strict in the whole army.

  Xu Haifeng marched along the way, the guarding warriors' armor was bright and their spirits were high. Seeing this invincible commander, they all stood up respectfully.

  They arrived at the central military tent, where Lin Jiahui was chatting with two elderly men. To anyone who didn't know what was going on, it would have seemed like they were getting along famously.

  "My lord..."

  "General Xu..."

  "Don't be polite, since the two clan leaders have come, then please treat this place as your own home."

  Xu Haifeng spoke polite words from his mouth, but his eyes swept over them in an instant.

  The two of them were one slightly older, with a snowy white beard under his chin.

  Another one with only fifty or so, a pair of bright eyes profound and unfathomable.

  Xu Haifeng was slightly startled, those eyes were wise and also comfortable, making it difficult for people to grasp.

  Noticing Xuhai Feng's movements, the slightly younger elder introduced: "I am Nanyi Xiao, this is Murong Rui, the chief of the Xianbei tribe. Greetings, Commander."

  The two elderly men bowed deeply to him at the same time, and did not show any slowness due to their age.

  With a faint smile, Xu Haifeng reached out to help them up and said seriously: "You two can come here, it's already giving me face. Moreover, we are all in the same boat, why be so polite."

  The two old men burst out laughing at the same time, and their smiles were so sincere, as if they had finally let go of a heavy burden. However, what was going on in their minds was indeed intriguing.

  "In the previous battle of Taiyuan, several tribal leaders clearly understood the righteousness and abandoned the darkness to join the light, turning against their former comrades. Our army then achieved a great victory. I would like to thank Mr. Xu here."

  The faces of Nan Yi and Liang Er twitched slightly before they put on a smile.

  It has been three days since the great battle of Taiyuan.

  As soon as the war was over, Xu Haifeng immediately led the two major armies of Huanglong and Canglang to march northward. He wanted to follow closely behind the Xiongnu people and strive for the greatest victory.

  As for the remaining forces in Taiyuan, he left them to Cheng Jia's collection.

  Although they had never met any of the powerful figures in Cheng's family, they were tacitly understood about this matter.

  The Battle of Taiyuan was a great victory for them, but their own strength was also reduced by nearly half.

  In that battle which was arguably the largest-scale campaign in the history of the Xiongnu and the Great Han.

  The Han army's greatest loss was undoubtedly the private soldiers of the Cheng family, with only 20,000 out of 100,000 surviving, and almost all high-ranking generals were killed or wounded.

  Cheng Jiaxiao and others were deeply resentful of Xu Haifeng.

  Although they didn't see where all those arrows came from, the people of the Cheng family were no fools.

  They couldn't help but think of the mysterious assassin who had killed General Gu Dao, and it wasn't hard to imagine who might have shot this fatal arrow.

  At this time, Xu Haifeng not only led a large army, but also defeated the Xiongnu people in Taiyuan.

  Moreover, in the battle of seizing the flag, with one against two, he defeated the two great masters of Xiongnu under his hands.

  His prestige is just like the sun at noon.

  Throughout history, in the hundreds of years since the Han Dynasty was established, there has never been anyone who can be mentioned in the same breath as him.

  So even if this gets out, it won't have any effect. On the contrary, people will think that the Cheng family is spreading rumors and stirring up trouble.

  The dominant members of the Cheng family discussed for a long time, and in the end, they had no choice but to swallow this bitter fruit.

  Apart from the Cheng family, the greatest loss was suffered by the Wolf Army who were eager for revenge. Under Li Guanying's leadership, they fought bravely and killed many enemies, but they also lost nearly half of their troops.

  After this battle, there were only 30,000 people who could follow Xu Haifeng northward.

  In comparison, the losses of Huanglong Legion and Tiangang Legion were much smaller.

  The Yellow Dragon Army was the luckiest, after the withdrawal of the Four Tribes Allied Forces from the battlefield, Liu Junshu personally led 20,000 troops to garrison the east and prevent them from retreating and returning. Only 20,000 soldiers actually participated in the Central Army's battle, with less than 10,000 casualties.

  The Tianying Legion is indeed a mighty army that Gu Dao and Zhang Jinzhong have poured their hearts and souls into, tempering it with countless efforts.

  Their performance in the war was nearly flawless, and their achievements were no small feat. They not only fought against the White Horse Army for a long time, but also blocked their best opportunity to reinforce the central army.

  Moreover, after the great victory of the Chinese army, they also joined the ranks of pursuit and sweep, and the blood of the Xiongnu people in their hands was absolutely not inferior to that of any military unit.

  But what they paid for it was - 80,000 crack troops fell forever, and 30,000 people.

  At this time, near Taiyuan, the Tianying Legion was sweeping away the remnants of the Xiongnu people.

  They responded to Cheng's army from a distance, but each went their separate ways, without consulting with each other.

  With Zhang Jinzhong and his 50,000 men guarding the area near Taiyuan, even if Cheng Yinghao wanted to play some tricks, he would not be able to succeed easily.

  To prevent Zhang Jinzhong from going back on his word, Xu Haifeng specially brought Lin Jiahui along with him.

  With him in hand, Gu Daoxun was killed in Taiyuan, so Zhang Jinzhong would never betray.

  The loss of the Cheng family was so great that they could not make any counterattack in the short term.

  So for the south, Xu Haifeng is very reassuring.

  At least now he has absolutely no worries about his family.

  As for the Black Flag Army, this was Xu Haifeng's greatest capital in claiming dominance over the world.

  Of the fifty thousand troops, only half were still alive.

  In the battle of capturing flags, the Xiongnu people's fearlessness and disregard for death far exceeded his imagination.

  Despite the countless people who fled and blocked their way, even if the iron-clad warriors put on that thick layer of turtle shells, there were still weaknesses in their bodies.

  The Xiongnu grasped the hands and feet of the Black Flag Army soldiers at the cost of their lives, while those who followed stabbed sharp blades deep into their eyes and throats.

  Although casualties were disproportionate between the two sides, so too were their numbers.

  If it were not for the tens of thousands of brave warriors from Li Guanying's Wolf Army and the 20,000-strong Yellow Dragon Army who came to reinforce, such a feat would not have been possible.

  But Xia was like this, and the performance of the Black Flag Army was also worthy of the title of the world's number one army.

  There will be no more doubts about this fact from either side.

  The Battle of Taiyuan was won, but it was a Pyrrhic victory.

  Xu Haifeng sincerely thanked the two clan leaders in person, and it was also true that he had a few sincere intentions.

  If they could unite with the Xiongnu, the final outcome was still uncertain.

  For the past two days, Xu Haifeng has been leading his troops to keep a safe distance from the Xiongnu people, exerting great pressure on them at all times.

  Among the troops under his command, there were Liu Junshu's 30,000-strong Huanglong Army and Li Guanying's 30,000-strong Canglang Army, as well as his old capital - more than 2,000 people of the Black Flag Iron Army.

  They closely followed the defeated Huns, and as soon as the enemy's troops slowed down slightly, they immediately launched a small-scale attack, not giving them any chance to catch their breath.

  Today, a scout came to report that the leader of the four tribes' allied army requested an audience with Xu Haifeng.

  As for this news, Xu Haifeng naturally accepted it with pleasure.

  "The victory in the Battle of Taiyuan was all thanks to the bravery and prowess of the Black Flag Army, which enabled us to defeat the Xiongnu. This great achievement is naturally attributed to our commander-in-chief." Nanyi's smile was filled with sincerity as he looked into Xu Haifeng's eyes and said in his most genuine tone: "Moreover, Commander-in-Chief single-handedly defeated two of the Xiongnu's greatest masters at Taiyuan. Throughout history, this is a unique achievement that has never been matched."

  As he said this, he suddenly paused and looked at Xu Haifeng with a strange emotion in his eyes. He said softly: "The title of the world's number one, naturally belongs to you."

  He spoke these few sentences with a rhythmic tone, beautiful pitch, and a pleasant sound, obviously well-prepared.

  Xu Haifeng gave him a rather unexpected glance, with a hint of a knowing smile playing on the corners of his mouth.

  The number one under heaven, this Southern Yi's words are double-edged, his sentence truly has a different meaning, and another implication.

  Murong Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he naturally understood the implication of Nan Yi's words.

  Although it's no longer a secret.

  Not to mention people from Zhongyuan, even those far away in Kaisa and Xiongnu, anyone who has a bit of insight into the situation is well aware of this.

  However, as a member of a minority group, being able to speak out so openly and honestly, Nan Yiliang is indeed the first person to do so.
